humanity

Isn't it ironic that the very best of humanity is seen through the love and empathy we show to our pets?

The Day Charlie Found Me
I was a woman interrupted. My world was seriously turned upside down, I literally lost grasp of reality. Tragedy struck our family several times in several years, but the worst was when my younger brother went missing. He was 26 years old, a father of 3, a son, and a brother. 3 weeks slowly ripped like a tornado through my life before finally hearing the worst thing imaginable. He had been found, off the road in a wooded area where he had wrecked his motorcycle and hit a tree, losing his life. I had pretty much given up hope. That is until the day Charlie came into my life.

Simba's Last
I was there when he was born. He was the runt. I made sure each kitten had enough to eat, the second mom, since it was her first litter. He was always the more laid back type, like his dad. He was happy mostly just chilling with my mother or me. He would play with the others, however he just loved being near her or me. I had decided names for all of them, except him. The name Simba kept coming back, yet I didn't want to be a typical cat name owner. I mean I have Misty, Brindleface, Sebastion, Dora, Zira, Dolly, BT (Black Tiger), Bear, Beretta (rainbow), Baby, Pippy, Simone, and Simon.

Let's foster kindness in 2022!
A lot of time it happens that we are stressed out, tired or sometimes completely exhausted from our college assignments, office work, relationships or some other daily life problems. At those times we always feel like moving to a soothing place and spend time with ourselves only and no one else. It is found that being close to nature in those crucial situations has been proven to be the best remedy ever!

The Angel in the Shaggy Fur
It was in the summer of 2016 when I first laid eyes on ‘Little White Wolf’ A.K.A. ‘Wolfy’. My darling son, who was 14 at the time, was struggling with mental health issues, bound in an internal darkness that comes from deep depression and loneliness. My broken mama-heart was looking for ways to navigate him along this dark path and I cried out to the universe for help.

Dog Owner's Delight
I ,along with a lot of other dog owners, have always loved dogs. The funny thing is that a lot of people will tell you that they think dogs are stupid.

Missy and Me.
First encounter: It was late spring and she was only 3-6 months old when she jumped into the old man’s lap. Actually, the man wasn’t that old. He just had an old part hidden in his heart that he was unaware of.

My Hero Ransom
A high-school student and a dog not yet one year old, we were two friends still getting acquainted. He was born a mix of Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Border Collie, and Australian Shepherd, and I assisted with his birth in my grandmother’s house, later incurably charmed by his dark, shiny eyes when they first opened for me. I knew in an instant he would be my very first dog, if I could only persuade my parents to let me keep him. To my eternal gratitude, they said yes, and I named him Ransom in reverent allusion to C.S. Lewis’s fictional protagonist, whose heroism and sacrifice made him legend in the book.

Setting A New Pace, Together
Having a chronic illness means life outside the house can feel incredibly precious. I used to take a lot of things for granted, but now something as simple as having the energy to take a walk with my dog Nico feels like a huge gift.

Bringing A Freezing Dog In Out of the January Cold
In the autumn of 2019, I started suffering from epileptic seizures. Those brainstorms wreak havoc on my memory. I don’t even know what recollections are missing until someone talks to me about a mutual experience we had in the past and I can’t remember anything they are saying. If you are interested, I wrote a short series of articles about my condition in the Psyche community, called I Have Bad Brains. ⚡😁👍

At What Age Should You Stop Getting Pets
I've loved animals all my life, and they've loved me. When my mother and my aunt passed away, I kept their dogs, Toby and Jo Jo. They left this world knowing their beloved pets would be cared for and loved. It doesn't always have a happy ending.
